IMPORTANCE OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
Competent and regular preventative maintenance is essential to the operational reliability of the ramp as well as the safety of
the operator, wheelchair occupants and any bystanders.
All maintenance and repair work must be performed by authorized DHOLLANDIA service agents and using original
DHOLLANDIA replacement parts only.
Please consult the separate MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR MANUAL for specific instructions regarding periodic maintenance.
If a ramp cannot be repaired immediately in case of breakdown, it must be put out of operation and secured against
unauthorized use.
Avoid brutal force when opening or closing the ramp as this may afflict permanent damage to the product.
WARNING
Incorrect handling in case of a breakdown, or impact by a falling platform, can result in serious bodily injury
or death. To reduce the risk of injury:
Close the platform lock and apply additional means to immobilize the platform (ratchet straps, hoists
etc.).
Attach a clear and highly visible warning to the platform..
Warn your supervisor and have the vehicle put out of service.
Contact an authorized DHOLLANDIA service agent to repair the ramp prior to any further use.
